I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 86: The Truth

"Gu Mingda." Gu Hui Yan's voice contained a warning, but Gu Mingda didn't care, even if he was going to get military punishment when he returned, he had to finish these words. He had been with Gu Hui Yan for more than 20 years and had been by his side since Gu Hui Yan was a half young man. It was precisely because he understood him that Gu Mingda knew how difficult it was for Yan Wang to meet a person he likes. Wangfei was very good, and the most important thing there was affection between Yan Wang and Wangfei. Gu Mingda couldn't sit back and watch this hard-won marriage ruined by those inexplicable past events.

"Wangye, in life, gold and riches is easy to get, a confidant is hard to find, and a caring partner is one in a million fate. Wangfei cares very much about this matters. Why do you want to destroy her expectations? Women jealous because they care, don't wait for Wangfei to be hurt and become cold, then you will make up for it. Feelings and trust are very fragile things. This point Wangye should know better than this subordinate."

Gu Hui Yan had the army in the palm of his hand, and nowadays he was in power. He had seen so many cross-sections alliance, and he certainly understood how precious and fragile trust was. He could coax Lin Wei Xi to sleep, and he could prove to Lin Wei Xi with double patience that there was no one else in his heart, and Lin Wei Xi did accept his arrangement just now. But even if she didn't say it, it didn't mean that she was really willing to be distracted.

If these obstructions were not removed, then his and Lin Wei Xi's lives would be built on a shaky foundation. Lin Wei Xi's temperament was particularly clear-cut, hating bad people and things like enemies. If it's someone she likes, she could act coquettishly and shamelessly, but if she didn't like, she didn't even bother to pretend to smile, spoke coldly, and showed no mercy. In fact, she was the most arbitrary person. She preferred to rely solely on her own judgment and did not give the other party a chance to explain.

This could be seen in Lin Wei Xi's attitude towards him and Gu Cheng Yao.

When Gu Hui Yan imagined in his mind Lin Wei Xi lost her trust in him, he found it really unbearable. He didn't dare to imagine what he would do if that day come.

Gu Hui Yan sat quietly, not moving for a long time. Gu Mingda didn't want to disturb, slowly withdrew, and closed the door for Gu Hui Yan.

The moonlight was shut out, and the darkness returned to the study. Gu Hui Yan sat alone in the dark, slowly returning to nineteen years ago. At that time, he was fifteen years old, young and inexperienced, and still liked to show-off.

In the twenty-fourth year of Chu Yuan, Beidi disturbed the border, and the Yan fief was the first to be hit by the war. The old Yan Wang sighed at the palace report every day, but he had achieved mediocre achievements over the years, and his talents and wisdom were not really good. Except for hoping that a military prodigy would be born in the border, or the Gods and Buddhas suddenly showed mercy to protect Yan fief, he actually had no strategy left to try.

In this situation, Gu Hui Yan asked for himself to join the war. He was only fifteen years old, at the hot-blooded age. The old Wangfei certainly disagreed. Whoever took pains to raise their son until the age of fifteen, and the son had a heroic and upright appearance, soon could get married and start a family, they definitely would not be willing to send their son to the battlefield. However since he was little, once Gu Hui Yan made decision, he would resolutely fight for it. Before the old Wangfei relented, he took the people and left the house.

At that time, the front line really needed a leader to appear to boost morale. Who else better than Yan fief's heir, the young Shizi Gu Hui Yan?

Gu Hui Yan at the beginning could only deal with trivial matters. Obviously, other people didn't believe that this Yan Wang Mansion's son could handle military affairs properly. But the fact was the war were critical, and commanders were especially scarce. Gu Hui Yan gradually began to participate in large and small battles. While leading the army on the road, he encountered a riot of refugees. This was a small matter. Gu Hui Yan led the people to suppress the rebel, and he even manage the subsequent resettlement of the refugees, after that he took the manpower to continue on the road.
